Newsgroups: misc.activism.progressive,alt.politics.radical-left,comp.internet.library,alt.activism,alt.activism.d,alt.drugs From: [v--d--t] at [ucs.umass.edu] (Sol Lightman) Subject: Take #2 -- MJ Legalization Library Date: Mon, 3 May 1993 19:10:53 GMT Finally, it works... This article has been posted to a wide number of newsgroups. If it doesn't seem to fit in yours, look at the index, I may have posted it there because information pertinant to the group is present in the library. If it still doesn't fit, mail me and I'll remove it. I don't plan on making a huge habit of this (don't worry.) Anyway, what follows are instructions on how to use the library and an index of contents. If the idea of marijuana legalization is new to you, I recommend requesting the `hemp packet' as an introduction. To do this, reply to this article (i.e. mail me a message, not followup with a post) and edit the subject line to read: Subject: {{{#hemp}}} You will receive a rather large file on this useful plant and how it can still save the world...
